Overview of CucCAP project workflow<\/p><\/div>\n

The objectives of the CucCAP project are to develop genomic approaches and tools for cucurbit species,\u00a0\u00a0perform genomic-assisted breeding to introgress <\/b>disease resistance into cucurbit cultivars,\u00a0to\u00a0perform economic impact analyses of cost of production and disease control, and to provide readily accessible information to facilitate disease control.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Each objective includes integrated research and extension\u00a0& outreach approaches.<\/p>\n

Research Approaches of CucCAP<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Develop novel advanced bioinformatic, pan-genome, and genetic mapping tools, databases, and genetic resources for cucurbits.<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Utilize genomic approaches to identify, map, and develop markers for resistances to priority diseases identified by cucurbit industries.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Introduce and pyramid\/stack resistances into advanced breeding lines of commercially valuable cucurbits.<\/li>\n
  4. Perform multi-location, multi-isolate trials of resistances\u00a0to improve integrated disease management, assess economic impacts, and provide state-of-the-art disease control recommendations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Extension\u00a0& Outreach Approaches of CucCAP<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Provide access to cucurbit genomics tools and databases via the Cucurbit Genomics Database website<\/a><\/strong>, and by genomics and bioinformatics workshops open to all members of the cucurbit scientific and breeding communities
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. P<\/span>rovide web-based and face to face information via field trials, extension venues, and scientific meetings regarding breeding materials, markers, and breeding progress<\/span>
      \n<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n
    3. Develop a centralized cucurbit disease website, including content in English and Spanish, providing information about diagnostics and links to disease clinics; disease control recommendations; disease alerts and links to forecasting tools.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Disease priorities as identified by the cucurbit commodity groups<\/h2>\n
        \n
      • Cucumber: Downy mildew, Phytopthora fruit rot<\/li>\n
      • Melon: Powdery mildew, Cucumber mosaic virus, Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus<\/li>\n
      • Squash\/Pumpkin: Phytophthora fruit rot, Powdery mildew<\/li>\n
      • Watermelon: Fusarium wilt, Gummy stem blight, Phytophthora rot, Powdery mildew, Papaya ringspot virus, Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Although the primary disease pressures vary among the crops, the different crops share a suite of common diseases. \u00a0In many cases, diseases that are priorities for one crop also affect the others, but less severely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
